The Couch Chronicles...Continued

Ever have one of those days where everything seems to be going wrong?  Well I've had a decade like that and so today I thought I would just let it all out....blast everything and everyone out of the damn water, call people out, bitch, cry and moan about what annoys the hell out of me...Are you ready?!  Well I'm not...I refuse to stay down for the count.  I will not let life's little pitfalls get the best of me...what is that catchy little phrase..."Don't sweat the small stuff...and it's all small stuff."  I would rather say, "...And this too shall pass" because it all does...life is in constant motion. So here are a few things that do not annoy the hell out of me... my dad's laughter Lil Diva cuddling up with me at night My Boy making really funny, sarcastic comments Chispita saying "mommy, mommy, mommy" Madibug and Brother asking if they can play with my phone mom telling me that her 74 year old neighbor has a crush on m...

On July 11th, 2013 I embarked on a road trip to visit my family in California.  I knew I wanted to try this adventure alone so with the blessing of my therapist, I got the H out of Texas.  Well....I drove for eight, long hours and then I was out of Texas.   While on the road I discovered many things about traveling, people and most importantly, myself.  I've taken the liberty to list them for your reading pleasure... Texas is a big ass state...and quite boring...glad I drove through it at night. I have great friends that kept me awake with ridiculous conversations, except for one who got me so distracted I ended up 10 miles off course... Adele and Mariah have nothing on me when it comes to hitting those high notes.   I can do a mean steering wheel dance....I even broke a nail! My vehicle can go pretty far without my hands on the wheel. El Paso is pretty...at night.   Las Cruces, New Mexico is a creepy little place.  Too clean, too quiet...

  Hey People, I'm in Cali....taking a quick vacay to clear my mind, fill my soul and be loved by family...I'll post to my blog soon.

So I've been pondering about my life now that I'm in the 4th decade of it and wondered what songs would play if my blessed life was made into a movie...what songs would be on my life's soundtrack? I've compiled a list of songs, in no random order, that sum it all up.  The initial list was short but as I reflected on each decade, more were added to the list.  Some songs bring joy to my heart, others bring pain, some bring laugh out loud laughter and some uncontrollable tears.  My life's soundtrack is a 2-disc edition...not quite ready for a boxed set but my journey has just begun... 1. Brooks and Dunn, "Deny, Deny, Deny" (This song should bring a smile to my bestie's face.) 2. Barry Manilow, "Copa Cabana" (for my Lil Diva) 3. Boston, "More than a Feeling" (Reminds me to Support Your Local Bandido)  4. Merle Haggard, "I Think I'll Just Stay Here and Drink" 5. Whitesnake, "Here I Go Again"(for t...

Where to start?  Where to start?  At the beginning....nah, I'll get to that later.  This is the first of many (I hope) thoughts I will be sharing.  Some will be fun, some will be sad and some will be down right messed up.  I plan on being candid, very candid so viewer discretion is advised.  Those of you who know me, really know me, have figured out that I rarely sugar-coat situations.  On occasion, I may refrain from blurting out my mind's thoughts but here, on my very own personal blog, I will do what I damn well please.  So...you've been warned.  Like a friend once said, "I ain't got time for all of that Milton Bradley nonsense!"  Stay tuned....
